Variable Wire Wound Resistor

A c-shaped ceramic resister is wound with copper or chromium-alloy wire as a resistance element. Except for the slide contact surface, the entire component is coated with a high-temperature, non-flammable resin. After cooling and drying, insulation is applied through a high-temperature process. Then, a centered rotating adjuster component is installed, which slides along the resistance element and varies the resistance to the desired value.
